AUTORIO - Concept Design for new transport solutions

Abstract

This article presents a contribution of industrial design in the urban mobility area. A topic widely discussed when referring to current urban problems. The transportation design is an area that proposes the development of products and systems designed for mobility, and in this article, we work sustainability in the creation of new transport solutions, more specifically, the concept of an autonomous car to the city of Rio de
January. To achieve this goal, research was conducted in conjunction with public transport organs that define the city's transport policies. A literature search up data on urban mobility, ergonomics, sustainability, social design, user needs, and probable materials and technologies less harmful to the environment that could be the basis for the construction of the project. The result is an autonomous vehicle concept well accepted by the public and subsequently awarded in design contest.
